Kyiv previously claimed that Admiral Viktor Sokolov was killed in a missile strike Friday.
In video and photographs quietly put out by the Russian Ministry of Defense, Admiral Viktor Sokolov appears to be remotely taking part in a meeting with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and other top military brass.
In response to the defense ministry’s purported “proof of life” video depicting Sokolov, Ukraine’s special forces said in a social media post Tuesday that they were clarifying information “regarding the destruction of the commander.” The post also noted that some of the victims of the strike have not yet been identified because their bodies were in pieces.
Earlier Tuesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov had declined to comment on the Ukrainian claim, referring reporters to the defense ministry.
